I have a new fun project that I just can't get enough of...ok, maybe it's more than just one new project. I've been busy making aprons. It all started with a cute little egg gathering apron, then I found an adorable harvest apron. I shared pictures of them because I LOVE the fabrics and how they all came together. Then that lead to making yet another cute apron!
One of my goals with homesteading is to find practical things to use around the home. I find it a big bonus when it's something I can be crafty with.
Egg Gathering ApronFirst, let's talk about this adorable egg gathering apron. What a neat idea! It has pockets for up to a dozen eggs. Perfect for daily gathering of fresh eggs. After sharing a few that I made, I was commissioned to make a toddler size apron. How fun!! Instead of making an apron that would quickly be outgrown, I opted to make a grow-with-me apron. It fits toddler-child sizes and is a great way to let your littles help you with egg gathering. No more smashed eggs in little toddler pant pockets (yes, this is why I was asked to make a toddler size!).
Shown here are the 2 different sizes. The smaller one folds up so that the toddler size has just the top row of pockets. What a fun mommy and me gift set!
Harvest Apron
Next up, the super fun harvest 
apron. I can't get enough of this one! There are SOOOO many cute fabric options. I have been told that they also work great for egg gathering, which makes this one perfect for any homestead mom! This multi-purpose apron can be used for gardening and egg gathering. How neat is that?!

This multi-purpose apron can be used for gardening and egg gathering. How neat is that?!I have made so many adorable fabric combos with this one. I basically want to keep one of each of them. But, I have limited myself to just 2. After all, if one gets dirty, I need time to get it all washed up and ready to use again without having to do without one for the next days' harvest.
Full Apron with PocketsThe latest edition to my apron making is a full apron with a bib. It even has pockets on each side! Sadly, I don't have as good of a picture to share with this one. I was on a bit of a time crunch so I considered myself lucky to even snap a pic. This particular one is custom made and a plus size. It comes in all sizes from adult small all the way up to a 3xl. Super cute!

If you would like to make your own, I'll share some links below. I did make some adjustments on the egg gathering apron, but there are several great patterns you can use.

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the falling leaves and their vibrant colors. I also like the idea of being nice and cozy in a warm blanket, cuddled up with a good book or doing come crochet while enjoying a hot cup of coffee. I finally found a way to bring my love of fall all together in one place. What's better than a custom designed coffee mug with a cozy looking mug rug to go with it?
My family and I recently started designing and printing mugs. My husband and daughter are both amazing artists. Couple that with our love of mugs and voila! You have a mug printing business that brings it all together. You can see our designs here. If you don't see what you are after, feel free to send us a message. We are always up for new ideas!
With Christmas just around the corner, I wanted to create mug packages for gift sets. I came across these adorable mug rugs from Annie's Craft Store and just had to give them a try! These Rustic Mug Rugs make the perfect addition to any mug gift set. Don't you agree?
I decided to make a sample of each of the 6 patterns. I sized them down by using a smaller hook size and a weight 3 cotton yarn because I wanted a smaller size to go with my package. The finished size of these is roughly 4 1/2 inches wide and 5 1/2 inches long, excluding the fringe. I also cut the fringe about 1 inch shorter to compensate for the smaller size of the rug. 
They are super soft, very flexible, and have such a nice texture. I love all of the variety! If you are looking for a unique gift for a loved one this holiday season or enjoy a little treat for yourself, please visit our online shop and choose your package.
